Abstract

Polyaniline (PANI) composites were prepared by oxidative polymerisation in the presence of bacterial cellulose to produce bio-material/arterial polymer composite. Chemical structure of the resultant composites was confirmed with a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Thermal stability is improved through formation of composite. The carbons from composites display filament structure under the scanning electron microscopy observations.
